Hello! I have eight years of experience playing classical guitar. Formally, I have followed the curriculum put forth by the Royal Conservatory of Music, reaching level 8 in their program, and winning... a National Gold Medal, State Certificate of Excellence, and Center Certificate of Excellence for Level 5 Guitar in 2017. I am also familiar with and happy to explore several genres of music, from classical to rock, South American folk, mariachi, and other folk traditions. Pedagogically, I have experience tutoring children and adults as a volunteer for Villa Musica, a non-profit music organization in San Diego. I also have experience in music composition, having been a finalist in the National Young Composers Challenge and winner of a Fifteen Minutes of Fame Composition Competition as programmed by Vox Novus. read more
